Assistant Clinical or Associate Clinical Professor of Clinical Psychology (NTT)

The Department of Psychological Sciences [https://psychology.missouri.edu/] at the University of Missouri invites applications for a 12-month clinical-track faculty position (.75-1.0 FTE) beginning on or after August 1, 2024. Clinical-track faculty are part of the department’s dually-accredited (APA, PCSAS) Clinical Psychology Program and the MU Psychological Services Clinic (PSC), the department’s training clinic for doctoral students in clinical psychology.

We are seeking applicants who can contribute to the clinical program by advancing the PSC’s mission to provide and train graduate students in the provision of high-quality, affordable, culturally responsive, evidence-based services; and to support research that advances understanding and effective promotion of psychological health, consistent with the clinical program’s clinical-scientist training model. We are especially interested in candidates who will contribute to our mission to foster and support a diverse and inclusive environment for student training and service delivery. We are specifically seeking applicants with interest and expertise in providing clinical supervision and direct clinical services, as well as in teaching graduate-level clinical courses. Applicants interested in building specialty clinics within the clinic or who have specific areas of expertise are encouraged to apply.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, a collegial and productive department, autonomy of scheduling and hours, and outstanding core facilities. In addition to base salary and benefits, we offer a voluntary incentive plan tied to direct clinical service, with which faculty may earn additional pay (up to 50% of their annual base salary).

The highly rigorous clinical doctoral program includes an interactive group of core tenure-track, clinical track and teaching track faculty and doctoral students, all committed to research, teaching, and application of clinical science to promote adaptive human functioning. The PSC is a vibrant environment that provides a wide range of affordable evidence-based individual, family, and group services to youth and adults from Columbia and surrounding communities, and training to doctoral students from our clinical program and other MU health service psychology programs. The PSC is staffed by a cohesive group of licensed clinical-track and tenure-track faculty, a licensed social worker, approximately 15-20 doctoral students, and office and clinical research support staff. Columbia, Missouri, is ranked among the top-ten college towns in the U.S. 

Appointments are renewable annually at the discretion of the University, with the expectation of reappointment given satisfactory performance. Clinical-track faculty are full members of the department faculty and are expected to demonstrate excellence in the areas of clinical supervision and teaching, clinical practice, and service/engagement.
